324-326 Donald St. Public Consultation

February 2018You are invited:Tuesday, February 27th, 20186:00 to 7:30 p.m.Overbrook Community Centre33 Quill St., Ottawa

Dear Resident,

You are invited to attend a public consultation on the Site Plan Application submitted for a 25 unit apartment building at 324/326 Donald Street. An apartment building is a permitted use on this site, but the Site Plan provides an opportunity for feedback on important aspects of land use.

At the public consultation, you will have the opportunity to hear from a City Planner about the application process. The applicant will then make a presentation about their proposal, and afterwards you will be able to ask questions. Finally, residents can formally submit comments to the City on the proposal. Comments can be submitted now, at the meeting, or until February 28th through the City’s development application webpage. You can also find the full application by clicking on the button below:

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office (613) 580-2483.

CSST Construction Schedule

The CSST (Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel) project has been underway since March 2017, with work occurring in two locations in New Edinburgh: within Stanley Park (Sites 5A and 5B) and at the intersection of Queen Victoria and River Lane (Site 5C). An updated project schedule is posted every few weeks to help residents get a sense of what's in store.

Policy Options magazine published an article I wrote entitled “The Five I’s of Failed Urban Planning”. In it, I summarize the reasons for urban planning failure in five major themes: influence, inertia, illiteracy, inconsistency and interference. The article covers both the key reasons for urban planning failure and my suggested solutions for fixing them, building on my presentation at the 2016 Annual Conference of the Canadian Institution of Planners.
